Nebyoolae.com is now a full-on Cake app. What this means for you, the visitor, is that adding functionality will be a lot easier for me and more fun for you. In the near future, I’ll be adding search capabilities, song commenting and ranking, and more tagging support for songs.
My entry for the RPM 2010 Challenge is complete! I invented a new “personality” for this project called Adversapolis. The album is self-titled because I couldn’t come up with anything else once I spent my creative juices on that.
The album of original music is about 42 minutes long, consists of 9 songs, and features me on the guitar, bass guitar, and vocals. The drums were sequenced, as usual. The genre is “Rock” or “Alternative Rock,” depending on your druthers. You can grab it from its very own domain, Adversapolis, for the next Time of Some Duration, which will then be succeeded by the Time Wherein It Gets Integrated Into Nebyoolae.com, As Well.
Whomever actually wrote the LiveJournal Import tool is a godsend. Instead of this blog starting out with one wimpy little “HEY GUYS” post, it’s already stacked with over EIGHTEEN HUNDRED ENTRIES.
An emigrant from LiveJournal, where I was happily blogging for several years, I have finally made the jump to personal domain blogging. I have 7+ years of LiveJournal entries to import, but that will have to wait for now.
I’m seriously considering moving away from the LiveJournal “platform” for my blogging needs. Since the community that was once here doesn’t feel like it exists anymore, this probably won’t affect anything. By community, I’m referring to the people on my friends list, a significant amount of which do not post anymore or leave comments. This includes me. This causes me to check the site infrequently for any locked posts that don’t get through my public-only RSS feed.
The first video in my The Matic album of themes has caught the fancy of the institution that afforded the idea for it in the first place! The circle, as they say, is complete.
I don’t listen to podcasts much, but when someone asked me to let them play some of Gamey Mixture in theirs, I modified my behavior.
RadioFreeGamer is the podcast in question, and it’s a good one. Showcasing video game music and remixes of such, the host was kind enough to play a few tunes during last week’s show.
Another new album already? Yes. Projects overlap for me a lot, or I’ll do a bunch of preliminary work at some point, let the project drop for a while, and then come back to it. So, things can tend to get finished near each other as each one gets more and more complete.
This video is at least a year old, but a random egosurf a while back turned it up, and I wanted to share it for posterity. Also, ahem, it uses a short snippet of Prologue – “Jellyfish” from Ebben Flow, so there is actually a connection to me. Also also, the video creator is a good friend, so this all just really makes perfect sense.
You may have noticed, if you’ve been following this blog, that I recently created seven music videos under the guise of “The Matic Music Videos.” YouTube’s got the whole mess of them. Ranging in subjects from Alaska to cooking turkey stroganoff to springing TiVos out of jail, they were a blast to make.
The final music video in my series “The Matic” is up on YouTube. For this final one, we take a tour of the coast. After living inland for several years, I often forget how nice the beach is. Seeing it just puts me in a better mood.
This is the seventh and final video in what has been a really enjoyable project. Look! I made a playlist for all seven videos.
I’m no movie-making expert, much like I’m not a music-making expert, but at least I’m more comfortable with iMovie now :-P If nothing else, I have some stats of who is listening to my music since it’s in the background of each video. Nebyoolae.com doesn’t quite have the same simple quality of reporting that YouTube.com does, so it’s given me some insight I didn’t have before. For those of you who watched, I thank you. Subsequent videos will be made, I’m sure, but I’m taking a break for now.
Another entry in the now-illustrious “The Matic” music video line is now up. This time it features a family cruise to Alaska. Starting in Vancouver, Canada, we shipped out to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and finally ended in Whittier, wherein my wife and I took a bus ride through a mountain to Anchorage.
The rest of the family went on to Fairbanks by way of a train through Denali National Park, but that story will have to be told another day by someone else!
“Alaska Yo Ho” features an upbeat, RPG-ish march called “King for a Weeknight” to accompany the scenic water, tree, and mountain viewscapes. Enjoy!
Everything is a little different at night, bathed in the pale moonlight or the stark streetlight.
In my latest video from the upcoming “The Matic” album we all take a little trip outside during the later hours. A tense soundtrack, self-titled, tries to draw you in while still putting you on edge at least a little.
Oh, no! The TiVos have been falsely accused of watching U-Verse and have been locked in the county jail. Fear not, though, for they have a plan.
Featuring more music from the upcoming “The Matic” release, “Mellifluous” is a cute, little suspense spy theme to accompany our favorite DVR mascots’ escape from imprisonment. Check it out!
Number three in an on-going series from my upcoming release “The Matic” is now on YouTube. It’s called “Stroganoff Delight” and it features a piece called “Seasoned Bedside Manner.”
The best part of making the video was eating the finished product.
My first “music video” — I wrote a piece of music and then shot some video to accompany it — is now up on YouTube. The piece behind it is called “In No Certain Words,” and will be available soon on this very website. Enjoy the vid!
2010 has been a productive musical year so far. And I couldn’t be happier. Getting around to finishing all of these musical ideas really makes me happy, and hopefully you enjoy listening.
A smattering of old ideas finally coming to fruition is what you’ll find in Frequent Dabbling. Check it out in the music section.
